Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am impressed with the tool's user authentication, compatibility , and policies."
"Our data is much more manageable than before."
"The most valuable features of Business Central for me are its seamless integration with Power BI and the ability to create customized reports."
"It is a scalable solution. There are more than 5,000 end users in my organization."
"The tool covers most of the business requirements that most companies have, especially financial institutions."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is brilliant and it's a different segment when comparing it with Dynamics AX. Dynamics AX is a larger product with much more features and it's aimed at a different segment of the market."
"The solution makes everything organized for my organization or enterprise. It makes workflows more than clear."
"The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"It is strong in integration."
"I haven't used it a lot, but the best thing is that the processes are very detailed."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"The solution must provide more AI features."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
"There is a book for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central explaining how to use it. But it is not easy to use, and it is not easy to learn."
"If Microsoft made some of the security setups a little easier to work with, that would be a significant improvement. The warehouse management features could also use some work. We had to buy third-party software to make NAV's warehouse management and security more usable and functional."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"I wouldn't say that Microsoft Dynamics is very scalable."
"Its task scheduling and manufacturing models need improvement."
"The tool needs to work on reporting issues and user interface."
"Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. "
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
